Update: Medford Air Travel Declines In June

Air travel was down at the Medford airport in June, posting its lowest numbers for the month in four years. The 2012 passenger count of 60,432 was just marginally better than the 2008 figure of 60,267.

United Express travel dropped over 12-percent last month. All other airlines flying out of Medford reported gains. Airport director Bern Case told the Medford Mail Tribune that air travel remains up for the year, and parking lot counts suggest July should end up being a good month. He adds that any month where the passenger count exceeds 60,000 is a good month for the airport.
